Microsoft is all set to give a major sigh of relief to some Windows users as there is a major copy-and-paste shake-up on the way.

The software giant has said it will introduce the “paste as plain text” option to Windows 10 and Windows 11 apps with PowerToys, empowering users by providing them with a much smoother experience when copying information over.

Earlier, PowerToys users had little difficulties as there was no full paste function, which would allow users to simply copy text as it is, without keeping any formatting such as color, size, or other differences.

PowerToys Copy and Paste

The news was rolled out in a GitHub post, where PowerToys copy and paste developers mentioned how the feature, triggered by the familiar Ctrl+Win+V key presses, will active in any app where PowerToys works. 

Developers of PowerToys copy and paste, stated, “This is heavily based on the work done for the “Text Extractor” module then ripping out anything that may unnecessary. The same KeyboardMonitor implement and use. The interesting logic really falls inside the KeyboardMonitor as that is where the clipboard opens/reads/modifies, then a ctrl+v input sequence injects.”

Till now there is no update on when the Paste as Plain Text tool will commence, but as many PowerToys users have requested it, the release will do soon.

PowerToys is an open-source i.e. open-for-all, suite of tools for MS Windows 11 and 10 users, created to help bypass some peculiar settings and perform actions that are still unavailable in the default version. PowerToys also has a wider range of customization options.
